Mobilities and Globalization in the Aftermath of COVID-19
2021
Will COVID-19 kill tourism? This was a big question that came to trouble everyone dependent upon tourism, especially in the early days of it being declared a pandemic. Before it became a pandemic, experts opined that Chinese tourists and tourism businesses would be cut off from it; certain political groups in the US considered this to be a blessing in disguise. Covertly and overtly, many even celebrated how COVID-19 would dent the Chinese economy. Then, it was declared as a global pandemic, and panic ensued. The US and Europe found they no longer had the upper hand over China in containing it; rather, to the surprise of many, the Chinese government proved it could weather a pandemic much be…
Squaring the welfare circle and government ideology: Greece and Spain in the 1990s
1999
This article examines the “squaring the welfare circle” thesis and its usefulness to our understanding of welfare developments in Greece and Spain in the 1990s. The welfare state in both Greece and Spain was expanded considerably in the early 1980s by the newly elected socialist governments, only to hit the buffers of diminishing resources and rising demands in the late 1980s as well as the hostile neo-liberal welfare ideology. The process of welfare expansion was halted in the 1990s, labour market deregulation was encouraged and containment of welfare expenditure became the dominant aim of government policies. This article concentrates on the actual policies of governments in the 1990s rat…
Il contributo dell'architettura per la ridefinizione dell'Accademia e di Brera
2013
The contribution of Architecture to the redefinition of the Brera Academy. A comparison of the sorry state of the republican education and its places with international architecture that exemplifies a different attitude towards culture such as the Openbare Bibliotheek in Amsterdam, evidencing a serious Italian short fall.The author proposes an alternative project starting with the cancellation of all the projects and competitions so far proposed in an uncoordinated manner, from the Grande Brera project to the unacceptable transfer of the Academy. Furthermore, he proposes an international com- petition for the whole Brera complex, the Pinacoteca, Academy and Observatory, that would enable st…

Los usos sociales de la ciencia: tecnologías convergentes y democratización del conocimiento
2009
La globalización neoliberal de las últimas décadas ha traído aparejadas inmensas transforma- ciones económicas, políticas y sociales. La reorganización del sistema capitalista que surge de este periodo se ha concretado en el incremento de la vulnerabilidad y las desigualdades sociales, dando lugar a la emergencia de la llamada 'nueva cuestión social'. El planteamiento que aquí se sigue investiga el papel que el conocimiento científico y la tecnociencia juegan en el capitalismo cognitivo como intensificadores de las formas de desigualdad. Atender esto resulta necesario para entender y completar la comprensión de las diferentes dimensiones de las desigualdades económicas, sociales y culturale…
Application of an innovative alignment optimisation method to a cross-cultural mean comparison of teacher self-efficacy: A cross-country study
2021
Teacher self-efficacy is a crucial personal characteristic that is important not only for teachers’ well-being but also for the overall teaching and learning. However, the difficulty to ascertain scalar invariance in the measurement of the construct has beset previous attempts of cross-cultural comparisons. This study implements an alignment optimisation method to compare and rank mean teacher self-efficacy of over 150,000 teachers across 48 countries and economies that participated in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) that was conducted 2018. The findings show that Columbia, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, Hungary, and South Africa have teachers with the highest mean s…
Haavoittuvuuden kudelmat : digitaalinen subjekti ja haavoittuvuus datavetoista yhteiskuntaa käsittelevässä tutkimuskirjallisuudessa
2021
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia merkityksiä haavoittuvuudelle on annettu datavetoista yhteiskuntaa ja digitaalista subjektia koskevassa tutkimuskirjallisuudessa. Artikkeli perustuu kirjallisuuskatsaukseen, joka on tehty vuosina 2015–2020 ilmestyneistä haavoittuvuutta datafikaation kontekstissa käsittelevistä tieteellisistä julkaisuista. Kirjallisuushaut tehtiin yhteiskuntatieteiden alojen keskeisistä tietokannoista ja digitaalisista kirjastoista. Hakujen pohjalta tutkimuskirjallisuus järjestettiin neljään teemakokonaisuuteen: 1) datavalvonnan tuottamat haavoittuvuudet, 2) data tietämisen tapana ja osallisuutena, 3) digitaalisten subjektien kategorisointi ja näkyvyyden säätely sek…
